Induced ovulation
A very high percentage of the patients who visit us because of sterility
have alterations in their ovulation, whether due to irregular ovulation (oligomenorrhea) or an absence
of it (amenorrhoea).
These alterations are mainly due to an alteration in the function of the hypothalamus, the pituitary
gland or the eggs, which are responsible for producing the hormones that regulate and provoke ovulation.
By inducing ovulation, the idea is, through the administration of hormones, to correct these alterations
with the aim of achieving monthly ovulations.
So that the induction is more effective, ultrasound scan controls on the follicular growth induced by
the treatment are carried out, that allow one to exactly determine the specific moment when ovulation
will occur.
This process is combined with directed coitus or with artificial insemination to optimise the
performance.
